“ Great Vietnamese food and great service. Owner is very nice. Highly recommend large menu options ”
“ This place has become our Go To place for pho and Vietnamese food in general. They absolutely have the best pho in the area, (it's super tasty but not at all greasy.) They also have a very large menu and have a lot of other food as well. Everything I have tried so far has been delicious. The portions are always very generous so I always have leftovers for the next day, which is another plus. Coming here has pretty much become a weekly tradition for my family. ”
“ Fresh flavorful Vietnamese dishes with fast friendly service. I ordered the Banh Mi Bo Kho (beef stew with French roll). It was Some of the best I have had in my 50 years of eating Vietnamese food. The herbs were fresh and the broth was well balanced with a bit of spice and fat and a good portion of tender beef and a little soft tendon. The accompanying French loaf slightly crisp on the outside with a warm tender inside. This was a great lunch with leftovers for $13. Fresh flavorful Vietnamese dishes with fast friendly service.

“ This is the first time I tried Pho Ha Tien Vietnamese food and I am so happy that I did! Since I was unfamiliar with Vietnamese food I had a lot of questions. The hostess was very patient with me even though her English was not very good she kept at it until she properly answered my questions. For educating me about the various choices she got a $5 tip even though I ordered takeout and did not get table service. Lately, I've been complaining that customer service is disappearing from the restaurant business. Well there are some exceptions to that and Pho Ha Tien is one of them! I would have dined in, but I arrived less than 1/2 hour before closing so had to settle for carry out. The Cha Gio egg rolls ($4.99 for 2) were small but tasty. Instead of the usual crunchy fried covering these were wrapped in rice paper - a welcome touch because rice paper allows you to better taste the contents rather than deep fry oil. My Hostess/Teacher advised me to wet the rice paper with water before eating. The Tom Nuong Banh Hoi grilled shrimp we're cooked to perfection. With a tasty sauce, nuts, chives, and rice. There were well over a dozen shrimp and a salad which is a pretty damn good deal for $18.99. I'm sure I did not use all the tasty sauces and veggies the correct way but it was all thoroughly good and that's what counts. Next time I order this dish I will make sure I sit at a table so can be educated on the best way to assemble all these ingredients. The Menu is so full of good looking choices I could come here three or four dozen times and have something different every time! ”
“ The food was good . I had some grilled pork with noodle and hubby had grilled pork with rice . Only wish they would add lemon grass to the meat for a better taste. Not bad though. The lotus salad was also good . Got hungry and ate before I had a chance to take a picture. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was also quick and good. Definitely be back. The dining room was spacious where you're not bumping into the people behind you . ”
“ So glad to have finally found an authentic Vietnamese spot with delicious food. We were craving pho the other day while it was raining and found this gem. The service here was friendly and fast! I was a bit disappointed that they ran out of the pho that had either oxtail or short rib with the bone ... it was recommended by my mom but they happen to sell out of it. What I ordered was still delicious. My bf and I both ordered the eye round and brisket pho and we loved it. We had also ordered the crispy egg rolls and they were delicious! We will be back again! ”
“ Out of all the pho restaurants that I've been to in Pinellas county this is by far the most generous when it comes to portion sizes! They literally fill it to the brim with nice juicy meats! The brisket and steak are incredibly tender. The broth is rich with delicate flavor. I like their noodles because they don't fill you up as much so you have more room for the meats and broth. Customer service is great! Our servers were polite and were able to help us with all our questions. The ambiance of the restaurant feels like you're in Vietnam. Walls have beautiful paintings. Overall I rank them 5/5 because the flavors of the pho are top notch! ”
“ This Pho place is my go to since we moved from San Diego, CA. And oh boy it's hard to find a good pho place here where they serve authentic Vietnamese Food! But good thing we found this place. Newly renovated (mid 2022) on the inside. Their Pho is ALWAYS good, and pretty consistent with it. Although some tendons be a little too impossible to chew on. Their broth is consistent as well. Their Vietnamese Coffee never disappoints as well. I have yet to try their bun Bo hue again, hoping that I actually get all the ingredients inside including the Blood Cubes and pork hocks! Because the last time I had that back in 2022, they gave me none of that. So my review is staying to 4 stars for now. Staff were nice and friendly. They don't forget to check up on you to see how you doin' lol but anyways, 8/10 would come here again! ”
“ I really wanted some freshly made Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Based on the pictures, they have it here and it's near MD Oriental Market! Score! Popped in and the place is welcoming and spotlessly clean. Always a good sign. I asked for our two Vietnamese iced coffees to go and confirmed it would be made fresh. I sat at the bar and watched as they were prepared. Dark, strong, cold and sweet caffeinated perfection! Quite the tasty jolt! The young man who served me was friendly and professional which is all you can ask. There were other patrons in the restaurant and a group of young children were at a table. They were having fun watching videos and chowing down on fried chicken wings! Their guardians sat separately so the kids could have their own chicken wing party! Life is good with chicken wings! Life is great with Vietnamese iced coffee! ”
